Why the GOP should let the Dems own HR 3200 and other healthcare bills

As he travels the townhall circuit in an attempt to sell a pig in a poke to American taxpayers, President Barack Obama has made it clear he wants action on healthcare “reform.” Unfortunately HR 3200 isn’t reform—it’s a bureaucratic entanglement that will continue to push private premiums through the roof.

HR 3200, the bill closest to actual passage, is a complete disaster. READ THE BILL if you don’t believe me. The Democratic Congress, led by elderly entrenched insiders, has let the president down. Dems should own up to that as well.

What Obama and his colleagues do not disclose: if you have private health insurance instead of two disastrous public programs known as Medicare and Medicaid, you will pay more because you subsidize those government programs. Both entitlement programs are bound for fiscal disaster and administrations past and present know it. When the baby boomers hit eldercare, quality will suffer because the system is somewhat strained at present in some geographic areas.

Government never should have intruded into healthcare as a provider in the first place—and if you don’t think the feds are a provider you are buying rhetoric rather than reality. The only people government should give welfare to are those who are truly unable to care for themselves.

“They call them ‘Frightwing Extremists,’” he said of the latest radicals added to a suspect list for homegrown terrorism. The Frightwingers join tax protesters, healthcare activists and small government proponents on a list of those whose allegiance to the Democratic Party is in question. “They’ll probably add constitutional fanatics next,” he said. “Those guys really disturb us. We just don't get their obsession with the Constitution.”
